DaLoCo Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Hunter vs Cav...? Go Robbie!He is sitting close to Cav's wheel....so it might well be...
'Dale Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Rabobank's been wanting to stake a claim for a while now.Their train is in motion. So is Sky and GreenEdge.
'Dale Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 You mean like win his second stage! If he doesn't crash, who can stop the Man from the Isle of Man...Awesome sprinting powers again!
'Dale Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Hunter 4th...not too shabby Brilliant, Hunter, brilliant! I thought he was over the hill, so to speak. He's found some more hunger to race well. Edited May 10, 2012 by Puncheur
'Dale Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Goss was the closest, I think, to challenge Cav for the Rainbow Stripes.Again today, he came close.But Cav is one helluva sprinting specialist.
'Dale Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Hunter 2nd in GC....5 secs down. Superb!It would've been sweet to see him in pink though before the trickier stages this weekend.
JimmyB Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Awesome stuff. Robbie looking strong. Yesterday in the TTT he took on a lot of the workload.
Cippo Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Cav just sits there and no matter what happens he waits till its the right time. He doesnt have a very long sprint but he is one of the most powerful. Thats why when he goes no one will catch him. If its a long sprint and he goes too early guys like Andre Greipel can beat him.
Icycling Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Robert Hunter with the national jersey 2nd on GC and 4th in stage - well done Bonus and Metzet 2
GrumpyOldGuy Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Liquigas had a plan today when they pushed the pace on the rolling section, looks like they planned to shell a few riders and see what happens, later Astana was the only team to really respond and take up the pace which devastated the gruppo. The biggest loser was Phinney I think, although he crashed, the gruppo was not gonna wait for him that's for sure. Overall, I enjoyed the stage immensely, I thought it was gonna just be a procession to the 5km mark and then a sprint, but Liquigas and Astana had other ideas and the stage ended up been really exciting. I have to say Astana really look very competent at this point. Edited May 10, 2012 by GrumpyOldGuy
Bos Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Its funny to see guys like Thor blown out the back.. and will be interresting to see how he progresses during the tour..If he rides himself into form..
